Text Messages To Replace Stamps In Sweden

Posted by samzenpus on from the mobile-licking dept.

99luftballon writes "Sweden and Denmark are running tests on replacing stamps with text messages. The writer sends a text message to a central server, which bills for the stamp and returns a code to be written on the letter. It's an interesting system but it better have very good security. Could this be the end of stamp collections and philately?"

    Could this be the end of stamp collections and philately?

    Not really.

    Btw I'm selling the following RARE swedish stamp:
    67XX5768XX34XX4233 (digits hidden for security reasons).
    Anyone interested?

    I guess it could be considered rude to speak something other than English here

    It's considered rude to speak something other than English anywhere.
